BSJ declined to attend The International 2023

Brian "BSJ" Canavan, an analyst, streamer, and professional Dota 2 player from the United States, shared that he did not receive an invitation from Valve to the upcoming tournament, The International 2023 in Seattle.

The discussion about this matter arose on Reddit, where a screenshot of his statement was posted.

This year I wasn't invited to TI as talent and decided not to go as a spectator

Some fans noted that Valve's decision is not surprising. Commentators questioned why he should be invited to TI12 if the streamer had previously expressed his dislike for covering TI10 and declined to attend TI11.
